Healthy Carolina

We support and encourage healthy choices in the Carolina Community as a way of life,
encompassing all dimensions of wellness.

Vision

A healthy campus environment in which to live, learn, work and play.

What Is Healthy Carolina?

Healthy Carolina is a way of life. It is the pursuit of health and wellness in mind,
body and spirit. It is the individual person, the environment and the community creating
a culture and atmosphere that encourages healthy choices, healthy behaviors and a
healthy place to live. It is a mission and vision born out of the desire to see USC
as a healthy community to help our faculty, staff and students learn to thrive in
life.

are utilized to address health behaviors outlined in the National Prevention Strategy.
